Saltbreak Isle
The Four Factions
Now survival depends on whether the factions can become more than enemies forced onto the same shore.
Skeptical relic keepers
Blackwater Buccaneers
Generally, one of the more peaceful factions, the Blackwater Buccaneers are surrounded by suspicion and sometimes fear, and rumors based on their beliefs.
They do not believe in the presence of the higher being that Rena has rescued them from, making them a very suspicious and cynical group.
Keepers of records and rights
The Ledgers
The Ledgers are generally mocked by other factions for their knowledge; however, they are useful when it comes to guarding the different factions’ knowledge and customs and preventing imposters from infiltrating.
They are a very political and righteous group with an agenda to regain power and rule.
Extremely bureaucratic, they are often talking about permits, licenses, and rights lost decades earlier.
Feared hunters and foragers
Stormclaws
The Stormclaws are feared and can sometimes be careless in their pursuits, but they are highly respected.
They are agile hunters and foragers with a strong sense of respect and hierarchy among their faction. While pirates, they have an aptitude for working on land, which makes them invaluable after the hurricane.
Rena used to belong to this tribe, but when she began questioning the group’s hierarchy, they banished her with much spectacle. They’re the most disgruntled faction when it comes to Rena now being the queen.
Dependable traders and inventors
Fairwinds
The Fairwinds are dependable and generally trustworthy.
The natural tradespeople of the ocean, the syndicate was originally founded on the idea of fair and open trade between pirates and smugglers.
They are generally the most generous of the factions, known to help anyone they can in need, though they are very secretive when it comes to technology.
They have extensive knowledge of technology, including a very specific type of compass that many pirates still don’t know how to use effectively.
